This antenna will improve the reception on the shortwave bands for any portable shortwave radio. The antenna works with radios that have an external mini jack. This works really well for the pocket shortwave radios and it increases the reception stability very much. This antenna is extremely compact and weighs very little so it’s great for travel especially in a hotel room. Just plug it into the radio, extend the 23 foot wire from the reel and clip it to a high curtain or similar near a window for much better reception that than the standard telescopic whip antenna.
